Our planet is a living, breathing, and ever-changing world. 🌍 These three views from recent spacewalks outside the International Space Station, all captured from 250 km (155 mi) in orbit, reveal its dramatic story. 1️⃣ The Dance of Light: An astronaut works under suit lights during a night pass, with the ethereal glow of the Aurora Australis painting the sky over the frozen Antarctic landscape. 2️⃣The Lungs of the Planet: A stark view of the Amazon Basin, where the lush rainforest is juxtaposed

This vintage NASA film, produced before Apollo 11, captures the intense testing behind one of humanity’s greatest achievements. From explosive rocket failures to successful spacecraft escape tests and parachute landings, every frame shows how NASA engineers pushed the limits to ensure safety in space. Watch prototypes of the Apollo command, service, and lunar modules undergo drop tests, engine firings, and re-entry trials — the groundwork that made the Moon landing possible. #Apollo #NASA #Space
